The Goodies

Release: The Goodies Complete Collection
7.7/101257 IMDb votes· 1970–1982

Long running British situation comedy with the vaguest of situations. The Goodies are a three man agency whose brief is to do 'anything, anytime'. This gave the series carte blanche to do whatsoever it pleased, with a cartoon-like surrealism and a heavy reliance on slapstick. Ran for ten years on BBC TV before removing for one final series to the commercial channel London Weekend Television.

Description
The Goodies

The original BBC television series ran from November 1970 to February 1980 on BBC 2, with 67 half-hour episodes and two forty-five-minute Christmas specials. The series was created by Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie, and was originally co-written by all three, with Oddie providing the music for the show. Later episodes were co-written by Garden and Oddie. After BBC, the show survived on ITV company LWT, from 1981 to 1982.

The series' basic structure revolves around the trio, who share a flat and are always short of money, offering themselves for hire — with the tagline "We Do Anything, Anytime, Anywhere" — to perform all sorts of ridiculous but generally benevolent tasks. The threesome travel around on, and regularly fall off of, a bicycle-built-for-three called the trandem. Under this loose pretext, the show exploits all sorts of absurd scenarios.

Comedic situations are premised on the contrasting & clashing personae of the three characters: Garden, a bright but bizarre "mad scientist" inventor; Brooke-Taylor as a conservative, vain, upper-class royalist; and Oddie as a scruffy, left-leaning rebel from Lancashire. Comedy alternates between sketch humor, situation comedy, parody & satire, and short, punchy, blackouts. A few episodes feature spoofs of contemporary pop music composed by Oddie, some of which went on to substantial commercial success in the British charts, most notably the hit single "Funky Gibbon". Some early episodes were punctuated by spoofs of contemporary TV commercials. Tim Brooke-Taylor, alone of the three, regularly performs drag characters.

The show features extensive use of slapstick, often delivered using sped-up photography and clever, though low-budget, visual effects. It was one of the first shows in the UK to use chroma key and one of the first to use stop-motion techniques in a live-action format. Other effects include hand editing for repeated movement, mainly used to make animals "talk" or "sing", and create speed effects, as in the iconic episode "Kitten Kong".

Inanimate objects coming to life is a recurring motif, such as a large console-type computer, which turns out to be female; she and Graeme promptly fall in love. In another episode, construction equipment comes to life and and lumbers about growling and battling like dinosaurs. Many episodes have a science fiction theme and feature aliens, robots, the future, and the Loch Ness Monster.

Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and Bill Oddie had all been associated, even friends, with a number of the Monty Python actors, and comparisons of the two shows were, and remain, inevitable. Unfortunately, The Goodies never earned the adulation and iconic status which Python did, despite running three times as long on TV. The Goodies attracted the unfounded reputation of being more of a children's show - unlike Python, The Goodies never needed to fall back on gratutious nudity (live or animated) to deliver a punch line. Also in contrast to Python, a few Goodies episodes tackled actual serious topics, most notoriously "South Africa", which lampoons apartheid and South Africa's then-extant race laws. However, there was never an outright rivalry, and John Cleese performs a cameo in "The Goodies and the Beanstalk". A number of other Python allusions pop up several times through the series: whether these are intended as tribute or tweak is ambiguous.
